Although most of Astronote’s current production is loaded with live instrumentation, for The Raw Tape he used an analog sampler to revisit a much more raw and gritty sampled sound. The result is an epic 21 track soundscape that delivers even more proof of why he’s considered one of the best new producers in the game.

Cover versions of classic Soul & Funk, carefully selected and conducted by Marc Hype & Dejoe. The two well known diggers from Berlin took a deep look in their boxes and came up with this stunning feel good mixwork. From reggae riddims to blockbuster funkbreaks to latin grooves & disco extravaganza, there's something for everybody in this !

I don`t know! I just don`t know...
This is not the best beat tape I have ever heard, but I like the idea. I guess it is not the simplest of tasks to make great music with this kind of material either. Blumentopf`s own DJ Sepalot took some Bavarian Biergarten tunes, chopped them up and put a Madlib sticker on it. Well, well, well...
Listen to track No. 7.
Big up to P.Z. ZE ZELLE.

This is one of my favorite joints off Dr. Lecter and I have to say he knows the right guys when it comes to the visuals. Alexander Richter and Tom Gould did a great job. Check more stuff from this cat by clicking the tags below.

Sand Essen Seele Auf (Sands eating Soul) is a short film shot on location in Peru on 16mm film. A security guard in the desert is waiting for his girlfriend and finally starts hallucinating. The music for the video is an edit of the track "Projectionist's Nightmare" by Deer, available on vinyl from Giegling Schallplatten...

I fu**ing love this song and im glad to have this on vinyl. Thx to the Giegling people and Deer for delivering such good music. Btw, the latest Giegling release by "Matthias Reiling" - "Doppelgänger" (Danke für die Platte Jungs, Geld geht gleich raus) is also off the hook. Today we celebrate the video premiere of "Deer - Projectionist's Nightmare", it is the 16mm short film "Sand Essen Seele Auf" by our homie "Martin Bomba" (Hallo Nachbar) off his Peru trip 2 years ago. Enjoy...

Producer and bassist Headnodic is a musical time-traveler. His exploration into the furthest reaches of rhythm and melody, from golden era rap to 70's fusion jazz, has inspired an original and profound voice in hip-hop. Whether he's sampling, chopping, and re-constructing breaks, or fluently performing on any number of vintage instruments, the aesthetic of a well seasoned crate-digger is apparent....(continue reading)

Unreleased freshness from somebody`s hard drive. How many songs are waiting to be found on dusty hard drives and 2inch reels? How many artist have stored unreleased material like an investment for the years to come?

French producer Keor Meteor released "The Manchurian Candidate" album some weeks ago which is highly recommended. Cornerstone Cashiers is the continuation, delightful beats combined with vocal samples giving it a narrative style. Dj Ivan6 enriches most of the tracks with his scratching skillz. Also involved: Somepling, CPrim3& Stereobit & IM ENO. dope°! (Complete album stream and download button after the jump)

El Iqaa:Circulate (EP) نشر is a collection of tracks created within the past year in dialogue with various video/photographic/installation art projects. These research projects, and the musical asides they inspired, all carry overarching themes I'm continually struggling to define; issues of language and translation (specifically around the languages of Arabic, English, Music and Love), memory, movement, electricity (power) and appropriation. Circulate (EP) نشر explores these issues through quotes and cuts from specific definitive samples (ranging from Abdel Halim Hafez to Pierre Boulez, Amiri Baraka to Trisha Donnelly, + many more). These splices are mixed with original recorded sounds to create connections between the past and the future, in hopes of trying to make some sense of this present.

For the past year, Remy has been quietly working on what he considers to be his greatest work. Exceptionalism is a culmination of everything and every style that Remy has dabbled in over his career. With each song, Remy stretches farther away from his Hip Hop roots, briefly touching on funk & psych, but settling into someplace uniquely his own."Exceptionalism" drops June 28th.. Download!

Briefly a solid single incl. remix delivered to us by the The Boomjacks. In Summer this collaborative project with Apollo's Sun will give birth to a full EP. Enjoy.

"The project is a collaborative effort between the lyricist Apollo's Sun from York, Pennsylvania and the Finnish beatmaker duo The Boomjacks.
The music could be characterised as alternative hip hop/boom bap with it's heavily sample based production and conscious lyrical content."
